The short story is that there was no deal between the Mufti and Hitler to kill the Jews.
Contrary to what that maniac and pathological liar (aka "Zionist") Netanyahu said, by the time the Mufti went to Berlin in 1941, the Einsatzgruppen had already been exterminating Jews for two full years:
"Perhaps we should exhume the corpses of the 33,771 Jews murdered in Babi Yar [in the Ukraine] in September 1941, two months before the Mufti and Hitler met, and bring them up to speed on the fact that the Nazis had no intention of destroying them," Zehava Galon of Israel's left-wing Meretz party wrote on her Facebook page.
Remember, when the Mufti met with Hitler the Blitzkrieg was raging across Europe, Hitler was leaping from one victory to the next; his Afrika Corps was knocking the stuffing out of Monty in North Africa. It must have seemed only a matter of time before the Germans were marching into Jerusalem. I think the Mufti was just trying to do a deal with the ones he saw as the inevitable victors (as did many people at that time).
That is what he told Hitler:
"The Arab countries were firmly convinced that Germany would win the war and that the Arab cause would then prosper," Husseini said, as the document paraphrased. "The Arabs were Germany's natural friends because they had the same enemies as had Germany, namely the English, the Jews and the Communists."
I see in the Mufti a small bit player trying to navigate around two Great Powers. Germany and Britain were the two elephants on the dance floor; Husseini was just trying not to get stepped on.
Of course Husseini no doubt knew of the Balfour Declaration, and how Zionist migration to Palestine was being funded by Lord Rothschild.
Husseini knew that would all come to an end if Hitler won.
So the relationship was pragmatic: "the enemy of my enemy..." etc. - with anti-Zionism the common ground:
"On the German side pragmatic, strategic interests were the most important driving force behind this policy. In its propaganda, however, especially in the Arab world, anti-Semitic themes played an important role. Anti-Semitic propaganda was often connected to attacks against the Zionist migration to Palestine which had emerged as a main topic in Arab political discourses."
So the Mufti was trying to curry favour.
But here's the thing: THERE NEVER WAS ANY "DEAL".
Husseini asked Hitler to make a formal declaration of his support for the Arabs in Palestine.
HITLER REFUSED.
The Mufti asked for material support for his militias. HITLER REFUSED.
The Mufti kept trying. He stayed in Germany all during the war (until 1946) doing Arab-language ant-Jewish propaganda for the Nazis, and even helping to form a Muslim SS Division in the Balkans.
But there was no formal "alliance" or any other such deal to "kill Jews". The Mufti was just trying to curry favour with a major world power that he believed was going to kick the hated British out of Palestine for good.
